My iMac will no longer accept and download updates?

I have not been able to install updates for some months now - time is tight and knowledge is poor! But I think I really need to address this problem now. Can anyone help please?

You show as running Tiger 10.4.6, is that correct?
The final version of Tiger is 10.4.11:
The 10.4.11 Combo Updater for PPC Macs is here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL170
And for Intel Macs here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL172
As Tiger is now obsolete and no longer supported by Apple, there will be no further updates.

IMac will no longer accept password...

Hi everyone,
Had an issue with my Mid 2011 iMac model recently. I am selling it so I attempted to erase my hard disk. I was told I can only do this once I have reinstalled the Snow Leopard operating system in which I received in disc form when I publshed the original iMac. So I reinstalled Snow Leopard (and it appeared to work) but before the desktopcame up a blue screen appeared asking me to log-in to my account. I done this, but it is not acceping my password, it is completley rejecting me. The correct password hint appears and that is correct, but aside from that it is not accepting my password.
Does anyone have the idea what the problem is? I would grealty appeciate the help!
Calum.

It appears that you did not erase your hard drive before installing Snow Leopard.

Itunes will no longer accept any of my credit cards. Says security code doesn't match with any card I use. I have inputted new card info in the apple store area and it still says the same thing in itunes. Customer service is no help at all.

Itunes will no longer accept any of my credit cards. It says vcode doesn't match when it does. Customer service is no help. I have re-inputted the info in the account section of the apple store and in itunes--still says vcode doesn't match.

My iMac will no longer go to sleep on its own!

Help!
My iMac will no longer go to sleep on its own! No matter what my settings are under 'Energy Saver', the computer will NOT go to sleep. Rather, the monitor will just turn off and the white light on the front of the computer will come on. The white light does not 'throb', so I know it isn't sleeping.
I'm not running any weird applications preventing it from sleeping, I've tried booting in safe mode, and I've tried resetting the SMC.
This is a RECENT problem - I think it started occurring after installing the 1.0.1 firmware OR Mac OS 10.4.6 update. Does anyone else have this problem??
AHH! Thanks for your help!
Jonathan

Hey everyone -
Thanks for your suggestions.
David.Austin - yes, my power LED does not fluctuate, so I know the computer isn't sleeping, the display is just 'off'. I do have all my disks set to go to sleep. This is a recent problem - everything used to work just fine.
joejoe - I haven't yet tried zapping the PRAM (or NVRAM), but I give that a shot and reset the SMC (SMU) again. If that doesn't work I'm going to have to do a... re-install.
I'll report back with my results. Glad to hear I'm not the only one with this problem.
Agreed - there is something wrong with one of those two updates.

I haven't used my desktop iMac in a long time and can't get pass the opening login...I thought I remembered my password, but, apparently not. How do I change it. I don't THINK I have a "master password" on the thing. I've never used one on any of

I haven't used my IMac in a long time and went to boot it up, and I find I don't remember the correct username and password (I use several computers..I try to keep the passwords similar, with a number for the chronological order in which I started using them) I've tried all the others I use for passwords. The 'hint" keeps coming up for the password I am pretty sure is the correct one, but, still cannot get in. I also don't remember whether I changed my surname on the computer...it was changed legally a little while ago, but some of my older devices still have my birth-name in there)
HELP
I don't think I ever set up a "master password" on the thing...I never use those. I am the only person with access to my personal devices.
thanks

I attempted to perform the itunes update on two different PCs and itunes will no longer open and I received a message to reinstall itunes. The reinstall did not work and I now receive a Runtime error message (R6034) re: library loading incorrectly. Help?

I attempted to perform the itunes update on two different PCs. Itunes will no longer open and prompted me to reinstall itunes. The reinstall did not work after several attempts and I received an error: "Runtime error R6034. An application has made an attempt to load the C Runtime library incorrectly. Please contact the application's support team for more information." Has anyone else had this issue? How can I resolve it?

I've been having the same exact problem this morning, and from the looks of it a lot of other people are posting about this issue, so I don't know if it's maybe something wrong with the download but I'm just relieved that it seems to be that instead of a corruption issue with my windows installation. I'm just wondering how long this will take to be resolved.

IMac will no longer connect to my Airport wireless network

I set up a wireless network at home using Airport Express some time ago, but as of yesterday my iMac will no longer connect to it. The name of the wireless network still appears in the list of visible networks but when I try to connect it just times out. The iMac is only about 12 feet away from the Airport Express access point, and both my MBP and my iPhone are both able to connect as normal without a problem, but the iMac will no longer connect. I have made no changes at all to the network, or the iMac - it just no longer connects. Any help would be much appreciated.
Jason.

If everything else is connecting with no issues, I would go into the wifi setting on the iPad and redo the info there, user, password and anything else related to your wifi at your house.
It is possible whatever he reset may have reset something to default setting which will not allow it to connect. If you need too then verify the wifi setting by comparing it with another device setting that works on your home network.
Good luck

Hi sahgin,
The issue eventually resolved itself, I still don't really know why. I kept up with Windows update, and attempted downloading iTunes again from the Apple website, and it just... worked. It now works fine. I don't know why it took approximately 4 months to work, though.
I'm sorry I don't have any more helpful information. Posting here was my last resort, and clearly Apple never bothered to reply.

HT4976 Since updating my iphone 4S to ios 7.1 my phone will no longer ring and apps do not have sound.

Since updating my iphone 4S to ios 7.1 my phone will no longer ring and apps do not have sound. I have made sure the do not disturb is not turned on and have also gone into Accessibility and made sure sound is not off there. I have done a reboot and also a reset of the settings. When I set my ring tone, the sample tone plays, however, the phone only vibrates when I get a call. The apps also do not have any sound. Everything was working fine until the update.

I am positive the half moon isn't there. That one caught me once before so now I am careful to check.
Thanks for the idea tho!

Laptop will no longer drag and drop.

My macbook pro(Lion operating system)will no longer drag and drop. It will no longer allow me to grab the item, let alone drag it. Please help.

You'll be more likely to get a quick and accurate answer if you ask in the iTunes for Mac forums. This forum is for users of iTunes on Windows systems and so probably not the most likely place for you to get assistance. Even better might be Roxio's own forums:

Why would you allow firefox to update computer web-browsers if you have an idea that it will no longer work after the update? And why would you not include instructions for, how to fix the problem? Help Please! Can I go back to the old one?

Mozilla, like many other software companies, thoroughly test their software before releasing it to the public and I'm sure that no problem you are having is intentional.
I do not work for Mozilla but I do have experience of releasing software for public usage.
Firefox has no way of knowing what other software is already on your computer and with millions of combinations it isn't always possible to test for every scenario.
You can go back to the old version of Firefox but that won't always solve your problem.

They should, yes. You should have a full and complete backup as well, of course.

Don't know. Could be any number of reasons. Re-read the how to install RAM manual again for your model iMac. Double & triple check to make sure you purchased the right RAM chips. Make sure they are seated properly. If you didn't hear a snap when seated, the RAM is not properly seated.

Final Cut Studio 2 serial number is not accepted for downloading updates

Hi,
because of problems with AVCHD 720p50 import in FCP I wanted to upgrade from version 6.0.1 to 6.0.6.
First wired thing: Why is the software update not showing any updates for FCP?
There are 5!!! upgrades available, but I had to get a hint on the forum to even KNOW about it. There is no information about that easily findable on the FCP/FCS page, nor does the software update show any option.
Second - the problem:
I found the download page (using Google!) and downloaded FCP update 6.0.6...
...but I need 6.0.5 first.
Ok, Google again, found the page and have to type in may SN again. _*BUT this time the site won't accept it.*_ I tried it several times, double/tripple checked the SN, but ist keeps telling me that I'm using an invalid serial number.
It is really annoing at this point - does anybody know how I will get past this SN-input with my fully working FCS2 full version serial number?
Thanks

And I really think Apple should install one userfriendly update centre where every user can easily see and download updates to all Apple software (not just the latest version that is heavily promoted).
They already do. Under the Apple icon at the top left of your screen "Software Update".
I maintain a lot of clients FCP systems as part of my services. It doesn't matter if they are running FCP 3 or the latest FCS version, it all comes in, in the correct order. 100% every time.
Of course, if you move the apps into places where Software Update doesn't expect to find them, then you will get unpredictable results.
Here's why; When you install Apple software via the Installer app, it expects stuff to be in a certain location, based on the .pkg files in the directory at: Library/Receipts. If you move, rename or otherwise tamper with the files or their contents, it all goes pear shaped and you end up in the situation that you are currently experiencing.
